Autism Support at Capable Therapy — Bendigo, VIC

Early intervention is crucial for children with autism spectrum disorder, and Capable Therapy provides occupational therapy support during these formative years. Early intervention focuses on developing skills across daily living, social interaction, and sensory processing—areas where many autistic children benefit from structured support. At Capable Therapy, early intervention might include activities such as visual schedule work to support transitions and predictability, sensory regulation strategies using equipment like weighted blankets or fidget tools, and fine motor skill development through play-based activities tailored to each child's interests. An occupational therapist can also help families adapt their home environment to support their child's sensory needs and independence. Early intervention services may be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 funding year), depending on your child's eligibility and plan. Capable Therapy works with families to identify goals that matter most to them, whether that's improving self-care routines, building confidence in social settings, or managing sensory sensitivities. Starting early can help establish positive patterns and build your child's skills during critical developmental windows.
